I cannot turn off passcode, it's grayed out. Help!

Okay I figured out why my "Turn Passcode Off" option was unavailable. What I did to turn it off was go into Settings~General~Profiles and I removed my Lock & Wipe profile. Once I did that I was immediately able to turn my passcode option off. However, I'm not sure if I'll now be able to turn the Lock & Wipe feature back on without having to set up another passcode. Disabling Lock & Wipe really isn't a good idea as it will make your phone less secure from theft. So I'll update you as to whether or not I was able to turn the Lock & Wipe feature back on without being required to set up another passcode.

I had a problem with Turn Passcode Off being greyed out, I switched off Find My iPad in Settings > iCloud and I was then able to turn the Passcode off.

Thanks a lot! I had been searching for the solution for a long time! I had a google vpn downloaded.

Thank You! I've been searching for an answer to this for months. I had downloaded the Google Drive app and used my work log-in which required me to add a passcode. But once I deleted the app I couldn't turn off the passcode and its because there was a Google Regulatory Profile set up I needed to delete.

Resetting the iPhone may clear this up for you. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 secnods till the Apple logo appears. No data will be lost.

Okay I'm in the same boat only my phone didn't freeze up at all. I had a passcode because my mom was snooping through my texts (I'm 42) and she's now moved out so I wanted to take off my passcode. I'm disabled so I don't work and/or have an exchange mail account. It seems every entry in the apple forums on this subject mentions resetting your device and/or removing an exchange email account. But, I can't find even one forum that actually fully addresses accessing the remove passcode option if it's greyed out in complete detail. Once the above two options have been recommended responses to the thread cease. Very frustrating.

I reset my phone as advised and that did the trick. The passcode is no longer required. Thanks

I tried all the solutions here but it was the Exchange e-mail account that was the problem.. Make sure you don't have a Microsoft Exchange e-mail account from work forcing you to have a passcode. That's what my problem was.

Turning off/on iPhone wipe worked for me. Thanks!

If you have your work profile installed on your phone then it wont allow you turn passcode off, try deleting the profile.
